Something which I find rather puzzling is the way that whether one can use advanced OpenType features on a Windows PC depends very much upon which version of Windows is running.

Supplementary note of 2 December 2009 I have been reading this post and realize that it is in need of updating. I had the idea of the font being shareware at that time but gave up that idea not long afterwards. The font is now a free download. End of supplementary note of 2 December 2009 ---- I have...

> Problem is sending these to some one else (as in email). Unless they have the same font on their machine the characters will get substituted.

I am on a learning curve with Font Creator Program, my previous fontmaking experience being with the Softy program. During last week I started to produce a new font within Font Creator Program. This is intended to be a thin line font with whatever artistic serifs occur to me as I proceed. It is larg...

Ah! Thank you for the tip. I have now found section 4.5.2.1 of the manual and things are now clearer. I have now produced version 1.01 of the Quest Chess font. The font now shows the desired copyright notice when viewed using WordPad. I feel that I have learned a lot through this exercise. Thank you...

I produce pdf documents using Serif PagePlus 9 (the http://www.serif.co.uk webspace for details of the program) and I wish that the font name be displayed within Adobe Acrobat for the fonts which I produce. I decided to try to produce a font named Quest Che...
